Question

Atomic absorption spectroscopy procedure

Answer 1

Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) is a spectroanalytical procedure for the quantitativedetermination of chemical elements using the absorption of optical radiation (light) by free atoms in the gaseous state.

Answer 2

Answer:

Atomic absorption spectroscopy instruments place a sample in a high temperature flame that yields atomic species and passes selected, element specific, illumination through the flame to detect what wavelengths of light the sample atoms absorb. Either acetylene or nitrous oxide fuels the analytical flame.
